Business Studies is defined at the top of the article as "Business Studies, the study of the management of individuals to maintain collective productivity..."
This definition disagrees with both the Business Studies article and my experience, in the fact that Business Studies does not soley study the management of individuals, but also accounting, economics, logistics, marketing, and the management of factors other than people.
The definition in the article could be true for the US, but in the UK at least Business Studies is seen as a broad degree covering all aspects of studying the corporation. Management Studies, a separate institution, fits the definition better, although Management Studies still isn't as specific as the definition, as it also includes management of factors other than managing individuals (e.g. managing resources) 12:15, 21 August 2009
Isn't Wall Street a symbol of finance, not business?
Wouldn't Main Street be the symbol of business?
Business is selling goods and services. Finance is specifically business between borrowers and lenders.

I am removing the quote. I can't think of any encyclopedia article on a topic that then has a quotation saying that the topic is evil. You can create a "criticisms of business" section if you would like, but the quote has no context and no value on uts own. --Goodoldpolonius2 04:55, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
machikne randi kThe only place I see the word corporation is in the legal paragraph where the three forms of business enterprise are mentioned. I have added "also called limited liability company" beside the word "corporation" to make it clear to Brits. Your comment about adding material on limited liability poses a question that we are always asking when writing umbrella articles like this one. As a general rule we try to keep the material broad in scope but shallow in depth. A person looking for in-depth info would go to more specific articles. An umbrella article like this one would get far too long and unfocused if we dealt with every important topic within its scope. The fact that you ask whether limited liability is "a big enough concept" tells me that you understand what I am saying. We can look at some other articles for comparison. The umbrella articles financeI have been watching the 1.0 collabortions because I think they are importnat topics that really need work, but have yet seen anything I could easily help with. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to build these sorts of articles backwards. By identifing what should be the daughter articles and intergrating information from them (if they are in any better shape) into the larger one. I really am not sure how this article should be organized or I would try and start this but I imagine the the subsections (and therefore dauther Definitely, yes! This is in fact the approach that was used recently with Humanities, another very broad topic (these are the hardest to write!). It was also used in our first collaboration, to take Antarctica from Start-Class up to featured article standard. Business may no longer be officially the COTF, but that doesn't mean we don't want to see the article improve. As you say, you summarize a topic like finance then use the "main" template (as {{Main|Trade}}to link to the main article. If I knew more about business I would help you do this! Thanks,articles) might include Economics, Trade, Industry, Profession, Corporate finance, Accounting, Intellectual property, Marketing and Corporation. I have tried to substitute articles with decent information for ones that might seem beter suited but have little info (Trade for Commerce). What does everyone think of this approach or how it should be organized?- and marketing follow the same format as this one. Economics, on the other hand has evolved into a much longer article that summarizes many of the concepts used in that field. Which is best? I don't know. Should you add limited liability material to this one? I don't know that either. o choro, valu besya, machikne

Wall Street is a Symbol of Business?
One of the images has the following caption: "Wall Street, Manhattan is the location of the New York Stock Exchange and is often used as a symbol for the world of business."Isn't Wall Street a symbol of finance, not business?
Wouldn't Main Street be the symbol of business?
Business is selling goods and services. Finance is specifically business between borrowers and lenders.
"business itself is an evil"I do not understand the purpose of the quote "business is in itself an evil" is included in this article. It appears to be representative of a narrow point of view, one with which many people would disagree, and adds nothing to the readers understanding. Perhaps it should be removed?
- I think its acceptable as a quote. You can feel free to ad a pro-business quote to balance it, since it is obviously an anti-business quote. Sam [Spade] 13:14, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
